Surprise, surprise.. another delay.
This time they are blaming the federal government.
"The December roll-out date was the latest in a series of missed deadlines which began in 2007.
Most of the delays have been attributed by the stations to the Federal Government introducing new laws for licence approvals and conditions.
Broadcasters are reluctant to set a new timetable, but it would be at least another six months said WIN Group legal regulator and network affairs manager Shirley Brown.
“I know it is another delay for viewers, but at the end of the day they will get all channels,” she said.
Besides their own dedicated digital channels, WIN will bring Go! and Gem, GWN will bring 7mate and 7Two.
Ten West will broadcast Channel 10, plus Eleven and One.
Analogue broadcasts will continue until the network is switched off by 2013.
The overall investment for the three networks would be about $20m, with the Federal Government to pick up about half of the costs. "
